Life Right Now #2 / film & film















1. Date night sitting on a bench in the Queen Victoria Gardens. // 2. Study days in the State Library. // 3. On a bus in Bruny Island, Tasmania. // 4. Collection of second-hand books in a bookshop in Tassie. // 5. Tassie yet again: such a lil' quaint street. // 6. Late night swims on New Years Eve with Krystal. // 7. Carnival vibes in Rye. // 8. Two strangers on a beach. (How descriptive.) // 9. Big sis Cindy in a brewery in, you guessed it, Tasmania. // 10. Love you Melbourne. // 11. Pollen Tea Room cafe's bike outside their bathroom. On the right I thought it was a swell lens flare... but it's just my good ol' finger. // 12. Mum and Dad crossing the road in Rye. // 13. From the steps of Parliament House in Melbourne. Overflowing with loveeeee. // 14. Valentine's Day with Thomas.

Hello my friends! Here I am a good month later... School is a drainer, I'm dying in homework, blah blah blah, the usual. 

So I am here with you today (the night before my two English SACs, no less) with my second installment of my Life Right Now series! I really enjoyed making my first one and this one is a lil different if you haven't guessed. 

Over the summer I went out and bought a disposable camera and documented the few months I had off school. While apparently this was a common thing in the days of primary skewl camps, I had been sheltered of this fantastic process all my life... until now! Something about the unknown and spontaneous action of taking a photograph of a literal moment of time just gets to me. In a time and place where we are fixated on taking The Perfect Shot instead of capturing a moment, disposable film is (ironically) a fresh take on photography, at least for me. 

I am honestly a sucker for good ol' memories as seen in my Facebook 2016 album (#noshame) and my newest purchase: a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7S (though a bit late on the bandwagon for that one...) So basically - I love all my friends and I love being young and I love cherishing all these beautiful moments we share. Yes, I am the queen of cheesiness but alas, at least I'm happy. 

Anyway.... that leads me to the big (ish) announcement! During my most recent term holidays, for a week I spontaneously decided to make a video featuring my friends. Kinda like a vlog but kinda not 'cause no one knew I was filming. Verging on creepy stalker, I know. It basically involved me "casually" holding my iPhone sideways and capturing footage of whatever shenanigans we got up to. It's the first ever video I've ever made (Year 8 science projects don't count) so I would appreciate it if you guys took a peek and tell me what you think. The footage is rough and unedited (because I have no clue how to edit) but let's just say it adds to the organic and natural vibe of it...


Okay, okay, I will stop gabbering on now!

Much love and fairy dust,
Mags xxx
